ENGLISH

• If you have taken alcohol or drugs.

Operate unit only if you are physically and mentally well.

Eye Protection

◆Eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 or CE requirements

must be worn whenever you operate the unit.

◆For additional safety, a full-face shield may be worn over

safety glasses or goggles to provide protection from sharp

branches or flying debris.

Hand Protection

Wear sturdy, no-slip, rubber work gloves to improve your grip on the

handles. Gloves also provide protection against cuts and scratches, cold

environments, and reduce the transmission of machine vibration to your

hands.

Hearing/Ear Protection

ECHO recommends wearing hearing protection whenever unit is used.

Breathing Protection

Operators who are sensitive to dust or other common airborne allergens

may need to wear a dust mask to prevent inhaling these materials while

operating unit. Dust masks can provide protection against dust, plant debris,

and other plant matter such as pollen. Make sure the mask does not impair

your vision, and replace the mask as needed to prevent air restrictions.

Proper Clothing

Wear snug-fitting, durable clothing:

• Pants should have long legs, shirts should have long sleeves.

• DO NOT WEAR SHORTS.

• DO NOT WEAR TIES, SCARVES, JEWELRY, or clothing with loose or

hanging items that could become entangled in moving parts or

surrounding growth.

• Keep clothing buttoned or zipped, and keep shirt tails tucked in.

Wear sturdy work shoes with nonskid rubber soles:

• DO NOT WEAR OPEN TOED SHOES.

SAFETY 99944200620

• DO NOT OPERATE UNIT BAREFOOTED.

Keep long hair away from engine and air intake. Retain hair with cap or net.

Heavy protective clothing can increase operator fatigue, which may lead to

heat stroke. Schedule heavy work for early morning or late afternoon hours

when temperatures are cooler.

The components of this machine generate an electromagnetic

field during operation, which may interfere with some

pacemakers. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury,

persons with pacemakers should consult with their physician

and the pacemaker manufacturer before operating this

machine. In the absence of such information, ECHO does not

recommend the use of this machine by anyone who has a

pacemaker.

Extended Operation / Extreme Conditions

Prolonged exposure to cold and/or vibration may result in

injury. Read and follow all safety and operation instructions to

minimize risk of injury. Failure to follow instructions may result

in painful wrist/hand/arm injuries.

It is believed that a condition called Raynaud’s Phenomenon, which affects

the fingers of certain individuals, may be brought about by exposure to

vibration and cold. Exposure to vibration and cold may cause tingling and

burning sensations, followed by loss of color and numbness in the fingers.

The following precautions are strongly recommended, because the

minimum exposure, which might trigger the ailment, is unknown.

99944200620 SAFETY

ENGLISH

• Keep your body warm, especially the

head, neck, feet, ankles, hands, and

wrists.

• Maintain good blood circulation by

performing vigorous arm exercises

during frequent work breaks, and also

by not smoking.

• Limit the hours of operation. Try to fill

each day with jobs where operating the

unit or other hand-held power

equipment is not required.

• If you experience discomfort, redness,

and swelling of the fingers followed by whitening and loss of feeling,

consult your physician before further exposing yourself to cold and

vibration.

Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI)

It is believed that overusing the muscles

and tendons of the fingers, hands, arms,

and shoulders may cause soreness,

swelling, numbness, weakness, and

extreme pain in those areas. Certain

repetitive hand activities may put you at a

high risk for developing a Repetitive

Stress Injury (RSI). An extreme RSI

condition is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

(CTS), which could occur when your wrist

swells and squeezes a vital nerve that

runs through the area. Some believe that

prolonged exposure to vibration may

contribute to CTS. CTS can cause severe

pain for months or even years.

To reduce the risk of RSI/CTS, do the following:

• Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended, or twisted position. Instead try

to maintain a straight wrist position. Also, when grasping, use your whole

hand, not just the thumb and index finger.

• Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest your hands.

• Reduce the speed and force with which you do the repetitive movement.

• Do exercises to strengthen the hand and arm muscles.

SAFETY 99944200620

10 X7532093907

• Immediately stop using all power equipment and consult a doctor if you

feel tingling, numbness, or pain in the fingers, hands, wrists, or arms. The

sooner RSI/CTS is diagnosed, the more likely permanent nerve and

muscle damage can be prevented.

All over head electrical conductors and communications wires

can have electricity flow with high voltages. This unit is not

insulated against electrical current. Never touch wires directly

or indirectly, otherwise serious injury or death may result.

Do not operate this product indoors or in inadequately

ventilatedareas.Engineexhaustcontainspoisonousemissions

and can cause serious injury or death.

Read the Manuals

• Provide all users of this equipment with the Operator’s Manual and Safety

Manual for instructions on Safe Operation.

Clear the Work Area

• Spectators and fellow workers must be warned, and children and animals

prevented from coming nearer than 15 m (50 ft.) while the unit is in use.

Keep a Firm Grip

• Always hold throttle handle and support handle with thumbs and fingers

tightly encircling the handles.

Keep a Solid Stance

• Maintain footing and balance at all times. Do not stand on slippery,

uneven or unstable surfaces. Do not work in odd positions or on ladders.

Do not over reach.

Avoid Hot Surfaces

• During operation, the drive shaft

housing and attachment bearing

housing may become very hot,

too hot to touch. Avoid contact

during and immediately after

operation.
